And, of course, the male and female OP strength ranks might not even correlate that much RugbyPlayingAshaman Send a noteboard - 14/09/2009 04:41:58 PM
We've discussed this back and forth, but the fact remains that each sex uses the Power very differently. The volume of Power needed to achieve an effect with saidin might not be anywhere similar to the volume of Power needed to achieve an effect with saidar.

It would be like a much more powerful channeler with the Talent of Foretelling confronting a weaker one who was quite dexterous with Fire. The first is more powerful, but the second has an affinity for a flow that is very useful in a direct battle, regardless of gender. This might equalize things to the extent that the more powerful channeler will decide to approach the weaker one in a less direct way to avoid having to see whose combat skills are more potent.

Of course... - 13/09/2009 08:36:39 AM 903 Views
I've been thinking the same for years - 12/09/2009 11:25:02 PM 1011 Views

Fact is, the bwb is untrustworthy - 13/09/2009 05:54:28 PM 962 Views
We must either use all the quotes from the BWB or none of them - 13/09/2009 06:07:46 PM 994 Views
Or... - 13/09/2009 08:41:23 PM 937 Views
Re: Or... - 14/09/2009 04:46:52 AM 906 Views
But, RJ himself said that the BWB was written from the standpoint of a scholar - 14/09/2009 04:42:59 PM 982 Views
Re: Not Aginor - 13/09/2009 08:17:28 PM 900 Views
It all depends on how you define "powerful" - 14/09/2009 02:30:31 AM 1003 Views
I agree 101%. *NM* - 14/09/2009 03:49:51 AM 506 Views
I think power is much more than raw strength - 14/09/2009 05:00:10 AM 918 Views
I agree for the most part, but disagree on one thing. - 14/09/2009 07:52:10 PM 1070 Views

the other reason - 13/09/2009 03:24:24 PM 872 Views
So is graendal similar to lanfear then? - 13/09/2009 05:41:42 PM 872 Views
Graendal could fight Lanfear and win - 13/09/2009 06:01:57 PM 1456 Views

Re: Graendal herself says... - 14/09/2009 04:48:37 AM 961 Views
Doesn't Graendal have an Angreal now? - 17/09/2009 03:29:10 AM 979 Views
Re: Graendal herself says... - 15/09/2009 05:36:53 PM 826 Views
Lanfear was more powerful than Graendal, but Cyndane has less power - 13/09/2009 10:19:35 PM 908 Views
Re: So is graendal similar to lanfear then? - 13/09/2009 06:05:11 PM 1062 Views
I agree with this - 13/09/2009 06:15:24 PM 1052 Views
Compulsion=any other deadly weave. Doesn't really change matters - 13/09/2009 10:23:40 PM 927 Views
Excellent point *NM* - 13/09/2009 10:35:08 PM 517 Views
But it did give her an edge, and against two forsaken. *NM* - 13/09/2009 11:12:09 PM 487 Views
Hm? When? *NM* - 14/09/2009 09:04:10 PM 422 Views
tPoD, when she compelled Cyndane and Moghedien. *NM* - 14/09/2009 10:19:23 PM 463 Views
Not at all - 14/09/2009 04:51:48 AM 977 Views
Using Compulsion on someone doesn't seem mechanically different - 14/09/2009 09:03:41 PM 832 Views
I'm not so sure about that - 14/09/2009 09:36:45 PM 906 Views
Totally agree - 14/09/2009 10:26:07 PM 771 Views
I don't agree. - 15/09/2009 04:33:04 PM 1033 Views
Re: So is graendal similar to lanfear then? - 14/09/2009 04:34:24 PM 868 Views
But Graendal confronted her... twice! *NM* - 13/09/2009 07:48:29 PM 433 Views
Apparently only the third time counts *NM* - 13/09/2009 08:00:37 PM 476 Views
Really? - 13/09/2009 08:36:33 PM 899 Views
No falsely... - 13/09/2009 11:25:40 PM 1122 Views
That's pretty much my opinion in a nutshell - 14/09/2009 04:56:15 AM 1081 Views
And, of course, the male and female OP strength ranks might not even correlate that much - 14/09/2009 04:41:58 PM 838 Views
They correlate on some critical points - 14/09/2009 06:57:43 PM 1029 Views
That's not exactly what I'm referring to. - 15/09/2009 04:36:29 PM 789 Views
But then we are discussing the same thing - 15/09/2009 06:59:04 PM 931 Views
I think, outside of semantics, our main disagreement doesn't lie amid the higher tiers - 16/09/2009 03:53:09 PM 795 Views

Re: Ahh the old debate... - 17/09/2009 05:26:52 AM 844 Views
I only disagree on one point, I think they are all rather equal in potential, incl. Ishamael - 14/09/2009 04:28:12 PM 921 Views
I do think Ishamel is special - 14/09/2009 07:04:03 PM 1010 Views
He's special the same way any individual is special. - 14/09/2009 11:36:42 PM 965 Views

The more interesting question is... - 14/09/2009 06:34:11 PM 833 Views
Hmmm - 14/09/2009 07:04:34 PM 922 Views
I think we'll see Graendal vs. Aran'gar. - 14/09/2009 07:31:16 PM 948 Views
Ah yes, that makes sense, and would be great! *NM* - 14/09/2009 07:40:29 PM 766 Views
Yeah. Though I think its no competition. Graendal has got to be better than a walking tree! - 14/09/2009 07:50:09 PM 825 Views
They do imply that Graendal is a lot more dangerous than she looks - 14/09/2009 09:08:43 PM 860 Views
I've never underestimated Graendal - 14/09/2009 09:42:49 PM 906 Views
Yeah... her frivolity was always a red flag for me too. - 14/09/2009 10:18:40 PM 941 Views
To me, she is the most lethal. - 15/09/2009 05:18:10 PM 702 Views
Yup... - 15/09/2009 06:39:20 PM 755 Views
I still like Lanfear more - 15/09/2009 06:51:03 PM 847 Views
Bah! She's an idiot! - 15/09/2009 07:06:06 PM 850 Views
only in love *NM* - 15/09/2009 07:23:29 PM 805 Views
Graendal did not beat me and Moghedien - 15/09/2009 05:59:39 PM 940 Views
Agreed - 15/09/2009 06:36:48 PM 834 Views
Ummm... how do we know? - 15/09/2009 06:40:57 PM 970 Views
